I want to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard (or alternatively, Leopard) on my laptop, an Acer AS5738 ZG, but first I wanted to ask some information...
My PC has the following features:
- Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4300 (x64)
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 (with 512 MB dedicated)
- Atheros Wireless Card AR5B93
- Audio Intel HDA / Realtek
(These are the most important, for others look the report with all of the hardware)
Someone with my PC or with my own components, managed to install Mac Snow Leopard or Leopard? If so, what version you installed? And where did he get the kext?
P.S: I wrote it with Google translator. Sorry if something is wrong smile.gif
P.P.S: I am very inexperienced on OSx86, plus I do not know English very well ... therefore, be as clear as possible, please! Thank you!

Any word on the approximate volume of the Synapse?
Original designs. Made in the U.S.A.
Any word on the approximate volume of the Synapse?
Sounds like a great size. Can't wait to see the pictures.
I went to the Tom Bihn show room on Wednesday and was lucky enough to meet Tom and Darcy (Riley, too). While there purchasing my goodies (swift, extra stuff it bag, small cafe bag in navy, medium cafe bag in pine) I was lucky enough to get a peek at the prototype for the Synapse. I have to tell you, it's a totally kicking bag that I can't wait to get my hands on. Probably brown, as it's one of my fave TB colors. The layout of the bag is perfect, and it is just the right size. Very impressive. If you have the chance, go by the showroom. It is so great to see everything in person. It's like being a kid in a candy store.
A special thanks to Darcy and Tom for staying late while I looked at everything. It was truly a blast to see the place where it all happens.
It sounds perfect. (Except the brown.) Besides the water bottle pocket, what kind of pockets does it have? Any idea when it will be for sale?
The one I saw was plum. There were two small lined pockets on the sides at the bottom of the bag. There was a front compartment with a zipper and then the large main compartment. It was a very nice bag. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait....
Hi Darcy and/or Tom,
Still anxiously awaiting those pictures, but in the meantime:
Will a vertical Freudian Slip fit in the Synapse? If not, are there any plans to make a shorter model of the Slip that will fit?
Will the Synapse have sternum and/or waist straps, and if so, will they be removable?
The Synapse is likely to have either a 1" or 1.5" removable waist strap, and yes a removable sternum strap too (all of our sternum straps have been removable for some time now).
It's quite a bit too small for a vertical Freudian Slip, and since it's supposed to be more of a hiking/travel/everyday pack rather than a computery/techy pack, it probably won't get its own Freudian Slip. Though we will have to see how people use it!
The water bottle pocket is one of four pockets on the front of the bag - it's not an external mesh thing but rather an internal division of space with its own access. It fits the small water bottles that one might purchase, but also the .5 liter wide-mouth Nalgenes.
U.S. / Canada 1-800-729-9607 / Other countries: +1-206-652-4123
Siquid mantica non capit, domi relinquendum est.
I'm sold on the synapse. When will it be available to order? And have colors been decided on yet?

I got my iPhone 3GS replaced under warranty yesterday, it was an older modem baseband and on 3.1.2 I think - anyway, I'd had it Jailbroken succesfully and was v happy with that.
Sadly the replacement iPhone I've been given I think is brand new, its running 3.1.3 and is baseband 05.12.01.
I tried to use Spirit yesterday and after a buggy first attempt it seemed to work the 2nd time round, and I could see and use Cydia.
However after Jailbreaking with Spirit as soon as I did anything with the Wifi connection it seemeed to kill the 3G signal? It then spent the rest of its time Searching for a signal, where previously (pre Spirit) I would have 3-4 bars on 3G?
I wiped the phone and tried it all again, going back to original IPSW, Backing up, then reinstalling Spirit and the same thing again, almost as soon as it reboots, I get a signal for a minute or so, then it drops off and can't find a signal again?

White campion (Silene alba) is a winter or summer annual, biennial or short-lived perennial that initially forms a basal rossette, subsequently producing a thick, erect , branched, leafy stem with hairy or downy foliage and white inflated (balloon-like) flowers. White campion is mainly a weed of grains and legume forage crops, and can also be found in other field and vegetable crops, nurseries, waste places, and roadsides. It is most commonly found in full sun and on rich, well-drained soils. This weed is found throughout most of North America, particularly in the eastern and north-central United States and southern Canada.
Reproduction of white campion is primarily by seed but cultivation can fragment plants and spread adventitious buds on root and stem segments. Seedlings emerge in mid to late spring and again in late summer. Young plants produce rosettes. Winter annual and biennial plants overwinter as basal rosettes. Stems are produced and reach maturity in summer. Flowers are produced from May to fall.
For more information on white campion and ways to control it please check out the following links:

Checklist of things to cover
- ___ Introduce Khan Academy and discuss how it will benefit students
- ___ Go over tech rules or contracts
- ___ Establish systems and procedures around tech
- ___ Make log-in instructions as clear as possible (see sample handout)
- ___ Ask for volunteers to help manage the class on the first day
Sample first day agenda
Planning worksheets & sample launch lesson
Download planning materials to think through your first day here
Suney Park, a 6th grade teacher, shares her launch lesson which focuses on discussing technology, innovation, and how that can be applied in her classroom. Take a look at her slides to get ideas on how you might want to introduce Khan Academy in your classroom.
Introducing students to KA
While many might be tempted to plan how students learn about the site, we encourage you to consider letting students explore KA individually when they first get on the site. This enables them to explore different parts of the site with the element of discovery. Then, debrief as a class to discuss what everyone found.
Keep in mind that your attitude towards Khan Academy will be projected onto the students. If you view it as helpful, they will likely frame it as a helpful tool. If it's seen as a fun activity, likely that enthusiasm will rub off too.
Suney also does a virtual Scavenger Hunt with her students to explore the site. The following questions can be a helpful starting point for a Scavenger Hunt.
- What are energy points?
- What is mastery? Why should you do mastery challenges?
- What topics/subjects did you find?
- What kind of information can you see about yourself?
- What is an avatar? What are badges? How can you earn them?

Here at Shapeways we're always looking to improve by making the materials and the services we offer you more robust and easier to understand. Tomorrow, we're launching a new mystery material, and tonight, we're changing names of our Silver finishes. In an effort to have congruent nomenclature across materials families, "Silver Glossy" will now be known as "Polished Silver;" and regular "Silver" will now be labeled as "Raw Silver." We hope that this helps customers and makers alike when selecting the best materials for their models. The Polished Silver is shopper-ready and great for jewelry, while our Raw Silver has a textured surface and lower price point, great for vintage designs, prototyping and large models. Our highly hand-polished, 100% Sterling Silver will remain "Premium Silver." The design guidelines for Silver will remain the same. We hope this simplifies material specifications as we continue to introduce new finishes and families.

BPAA Featured Among Such Global Leaders as Ritz-Carlton, Southwest Airlines, GE, Dow Jones, Victoria's Secret, Pitney Bowes, JD Power & Associates, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Celebrity Cruises and others
NEW YORK March, 28, 2011 – The Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA), the non-profit trade association that serves as the voice of the bowling industry, announced today that Executive Director Steve Johnson was among the executives from world class brands to speak at The Conference Board's annual Customer Experience Leadership Conference. Hosted at the Intercontinental The Barclay in Manhattan from March 23-24, the sold out event highlighted brands that serve as leaders in providing unparalleled experiences to their customers.
As part of a panel on "Implementing Customer Experience Strategies," Johnson addressed the evolution of the bowling industry that has helped drive four years of consecutive growth in the industry; securing bowling's ranking as the #1 participatory sport in the country.
During the prestigious two day event, the BPAA and Johnson were showcased among such leading brands as Ritz-Carlton, GE, Dow Jones, Victoria's Secret, Pitney Bowes, JD Power & Associates, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and Celebrity Cruises, among others.
"There's no factor that has been more important in driving the growth and resurgence of bowling than our industry-wide focus on providing a great experience to our customers. From the 71 million people who bowl every year to the more than 4,000 operators who are members of the BPAA to the major global brands that sponsor bowling – it is the industry's ability to deliver a great experience to all of our stakeholders that has helped fuel our success," said Johnson.
Added Johnson, "It is an honor to see our industry receive the recognition that it deserves from corporate America and to have bowling stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such iconic brands as Ritz-Carlton, Victoria's Secret, Southwest Airlines and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM. As any of the proprietors, customers or our corporate partners will tell you, there is just simply no customer experience that beats bowling."
About The Conference Board
The Conference Board is a global, independent business membership and research association working in the public interest. Our mission is unique: To provide the world's leading organizations with the practical knowledge they need to improve their performance and better serve society.

Monday, January 07, 2013
The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) has approved the allocation of $40,000 from the Grade Crossing Protective Fund (GCPF) to help pay for upgrades at two Pend Oreille Valley Railroad (POVR) grade crossings near Newport, Wash.
POVR plans to use the funds to replace an existing cantilever with a walk-out style cantilever, which allows warning lights and other devices to be placed at the side of the roadway and above individual traffic lanes. The railroad also will install an upgraded bungalow and complete other improvements.
GCPF funding is limited to about $20,000 for each project. UTC staff will help arrange surplus equipment for each crossing. Both projects must be completed by June 30, 2013.
Meanwhile, the Montana Department of Transportation is seeking public comments on a proposed project involving the installation of signals, flashing lights and gates, and a 32-foot concrete surface at a crossing near Plains, Mont.
The Montana DOT, Sanders County and Montana Rail Link Inc. (MRL) are jointly pursuing the project. The DOT will provide funding for the signal system and a portion of the new concrete crossing surface, while MRL will install the signals and crossing surface.
Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in fall.
The Montana DOT also is seeking public comments on a proposed MRL crossing upgrade near Alberton and a proposed BNSF Railway Co. crossing upgrade near Glendive. Those projects — which involve signals and/or flashing lights and gates — also are tentatively scheduled to start in fall.

These Jumbo Gordals are the "beefsteak" of olives – with the pit removed for your convenience.
Gordal means plump - sometimes called "Queen Olives" or "Colossal Olives" in America. They are an unmitigated treat for the olive aficionado - with no pit as a distraction.
Great with Marcona almonds, Manchego cheese or potato chips. It makes a great tapa (and an astonishing garnishment for a martini!)
Our Ybarra Collection of Olives is produced by the eminent Hijos de Ybarra company. Originally founded in 1842 by the first Count of Ybarra, Don José María de Ybarra y Gutierrez de Coviedes, it remains in the family's hands six generations later.
Originally drawn from his estate in the Aljarife region of southeast Sevilla province, Aljarife manzanilla table olives there are noted for their plumpness, size and flavor. Ybarra is known throughout Spain as the standard against which all other commercial olives are measured.
Average Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 based on 1 review

Not much has changed with the 2012 R1, but the big news is it now has a six-stage traction control system, incorporating anti-wheelie in its two most intrusive levels.

Parag Khanna: Well it is interesting, every country that America has labeled a rouge state, or a state of concern, when they are trying to be nice about it, is the country that's also backed by China, either diplomatically, financially, strategically, militarily or otherwise. That includes even non-oil producing countries.
The notion of their list, out for the oil countries, quite a few, but it doesn't cover Zimbabwe, North Korea and other places.
So the fact is that China is most certainly out there making friends and finding friends wherever it can. And if that means being friendly with so called rouge states, it will do that and it has good reasons. And, by the way, it is a very good friend of Cuba as well.
So China is most certainly causing tension for American foreign policy with respect to specific countries, but it's also, of course, causing tension with respect to current American priorities on trade, an international institution.
America would like India or Japan to be in the UN Security Council. China doesn't want either of them to.
The United States would like certain countries to be sanctioned by the Human Rights Council of United Nations. China blocks that.
America would like certain trade reforms to happen through the World Trade Organization, but yet they have trade disputes on a regular basis there.
So questions of product safety for example, labor standards environmental standards, all of these issues that are on the agenda, in the Doha development round of WTO are associated with that, are issues where the U.S and China are on opposite sides of the debate.

This is the worst thing to happen to acrobat, in my opinion.
The clutter that it creates on my computer and the fact that i cant even see the document title when I have a bunch of them open (because the task bar is too full) is unacceptable.
I never would have changed from Acrobat 8 if I had known, and now I cant switch back (company license).
The latest thing i can find about addressing it is here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405108&sli ceId=1
which was in november 2008....
why hasnt any thing else been done about it? I just spent 45 minutes being sent to different departments over the phone, only to be told to submit a feature request.
Please do this if you havent already:
Please count my vote as well - LET US HAVE A CHOICE - allow for both.
An Acrobat user since ver 4.
I use ver 9 for for new functionality, but I still keep ver 7 on one machine as assembly of multi-page, multi-source documents is more efficient for me when done within a single application window.
I just finally changed AR 8 to 9.1. And now I feel rather frustrated, finding myself in this thread after 20 minutes of search for the most obvious Adobe setting - to being able to read and keep open multiple documents, while avoiding screen mess!
Right now the message from Adobe to me is - bury any pdf as deep as you can and open or read pdf only when it really is important and you can't live without it anymore.
But I see now, that this thread is over 1 year old and indeed, it's difficult to believe, that Adobe Reader single window option still isn't available in version 9.1? If it still isn't in 9.1, what you folk have done, switched to some other competitive pdf reader?
Robert A.
Absolutely!!! please re-enable MDI in Acrobat 9 -- I read the article explaining the reasons for doing this ( http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/2008/09/mdi_vs_sdi_in_acrobat.html ) but I am sure Adobe can manage to overcome -- who cares about compatibility with the Mac anyway ???? I work with both Mac and PC and do most of the Acrobat work in the PC.
Please please PLEASE re-consider and bring back MDI in the next update!!!! it is essential for imposing documents with Qi and also for applying batch commands over many files.
Why on earth would you take this feature out. Nothing more annoying than a million PDF windows
opening up all over your screens. Especially for me as I use multiple screens they pop up everywhere!
You guys are SO GOD DAMN STUPID for eliminating that MDI feature.
"In Acrobat 9, we dropped support for MDI."
Not a good idea!
Now, please let us have it back.
You have to realize that you break peoples work flow with this ill-thought-through change.
"Feature Parity with Macintosh was desired" -- Not a valid argument from a windows-user point-of-view
"Making SDI default, but still providing MDI in version 8 was done to start the deprecation of MDI." -- That trick didn't work, re-enabling MDI was the first setting I changed in Acrobat 8 (and actually Acrobat 8 broke so many other things, I quickly reverted to Acrobat 7).
"Microsoft advised that to work as good as possible on Vista, applications should avoid MDI." -- Microsoft is not the user, we are! Besides, many W7 users reset their desktop to classical.
"This increases the cost of testing the product and the cost of fixing bugs." -- So it's easier on Adobe, but bad for us... is that an argument at all?
"in a world where larger screen resolutions, multiple monitors and the need to see multiple documents at one time has increased, SDI mode offered higher benefits." -- As someone else already mentioned, on a multi-monitor system SDI is flawed.
So... now that you consider reverting to MDI, please also introduce tabs, that's the only thing MDI applications typically lack, though things are improving.
EDIT: People been asking for this since 2008! Come on, already...
We automate some Acrobat processes using the jsobj and adi. All of a sudden I have 50 open acrobat windows (It won't open more than 50...though it's trying really hard)?!?!? PLEASE bring back the single window optoin!!!!
For clarification, the user interface in Acrobat X retains the Acrobat 9 SDI structure. Many of the arguments outlined in the original Acrobat Blog post still stand.
As the new Tools Pane and Quick Tools bars are fixed within the application window, explicit support for multiple-monitor desktops (for example in terms of undocking tools and moving them to a second screen as might be done in Creative Suite apps) is not relevant - SDI windows can of course be positioned wherever a user wishes, and the new UI helps to maximize the screen real estate available to the document pages.
It's important to bear in mind that many of the Tools Pane panels contain processes rather than actions - for example the process of replying to comments or sharing a file using SendNow. In an MDI world, managing the state of these "half-finished" processes when the user tabs to a different document is a lot more complex than it seems. MDI software tends to get round that by putting all their interactive workflows into modal dialog boxes, so until you've completed the task you're locked out of the main window, hence can't change the document under focus. Acrobat and Reader of course use dialogs for some multi-step and system processes, but retaining SDI means every document can have an independent set of panes, panels and dialogs, for example one document in Forms Editing mode and another in comment review mode, so a user can read what changes her peers have requested and implement them in a side-by-side desktop layout. It's this concentration on multi-instance SDI that led Microsoft to bring in the window "snap" feature in Windows 7.
"the user interface in Acrobat X retains the Acrobat 9 SDI structure"
which is why I will not upgrade to Acrobate X, thank you.
Consider this:
I had to put together a single document from 35 single page pdfs, that were all supposed to be in the same page format, but had to be checked, of course. I opened the first of these pdfs, checked it and it was fine. Now I wanted to add the other 34 pages from the 34 pdfs, so I opened them one by one, checked the page format, and then clicked to see the page icon so I could drag this over to the first document and have the page inserted there.
Here SDI came in my way. Everytime I opened one of the new pdfs, the window opened on top of the window with the document that I wanted to drag the page to. So, first I had to move the window, only then did I have room to grab the page icon and drag it to the first document.
So, the workflow was this:
1. Open new pdf
2. Check page format,if ok
3. Drag window away from the base document window
4. Click to see the page icon
5. Drag the page icon over to the base document.
In an MDI setting, I would simply have tiled the windows with the base document on one side and the newly opened doc on the other and dragged stuff over.
I am seriously looking for something other than Acrobat to fulfill my needs.I still have not found one that has all the features I need, but I keep looking...
In that workflow I wouldn't advise opening each single-page file in Acrobat before combining them - you can look at the PDFs and their metadata information using Adobe Bridge etc. or use the preview panel in Windows Explorer, select the ones you want, and use Combine Supported Files from the context menu.
Adobe, Please bring back MDI. It's ridiculous not to...who is the customer, the individual user or Microsoft? It's frustrating to have several windows open. With the technology available today, there has to be a way to make this work. If there's somethign in the work's, we'd like to see it sooner than later...No more excuses...let's see some results. Talk is cheap...
I think it is a financial issue for Adobe!
They don't want to pay some pennies for an eventual support or bugs that may raise with MDI !
If this is crippling for Adobe in its royal size, how do the developers of the free soft?
Thanks Dave.
Well of course I can use other apps for this.
Maybe I'll start using Foxit instead, thanks for the hint...
Bottom line is, MDI is flawed and it breaks the work-flows of many, *many* people,just look into this thread.
PS I have no idea what Adobe Bridge is, doesn't seem to have been installer with my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Furthermore, the win explorer preview panel shows no useful info. I need to check each document that it has the correct page size, fonts, layout etc. "Combined Supported Files" from what context menu? Is that a Mac thing? I'm on W7x64pro... From my view-point, all your suggestions failed, and MDI would have solved the problem quite nicely.
Now, on to another Acrobat stupidity... "You must restart the system before using Acrobat. Click Restart Now to restart automatically". Stop this madness!
PS I have no idea what Adobe Bridge is, doesn't seem to have been installer with my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
Adobe Bridge is the file browser and management utility installed with Creative Suite. It's not part of the Acrobat installation, but as many Acrobat users have purchased it as part of a CS bundle, they will have Bridge installed by default.
"Combined Supported Files" from what context menu? Is that a Mac thing? I'm on W7x64pro...
Select a bunch of files (not just PDFs - anything that Acrobat can read) in Windows Explorer and right-click.
"Select a bunch of files (not just PDFs - anything that Acrobat can read) in Windows Explorer and right-click."
Nope, nothing like "Combine Supported Files" there.
There's nothing at all related to Acrobat in my Explorer right-click context menu.
But this is all beside the point.
The point is that MDI is flawed, broken, ill-behaved, not working correctly, breaking well-established workflows, etc...
And all those Acrobat window icons clog the task bar...
After finding out AcrobatX will not support a proper tab browsing interface my question is why isn't there a "container app" shipped with adobe/acrobat that keeps track of all documents? At the moment I'am using Acrobat together with Firefox... but it's a pain to drop 20 and more documents at once into FF just to have nice tabs and not a messy taskbar... and even worse: Many functions are not available through the browser plugin so the user is still forced to open certain PDFs in Acrobat again. Why is usability neglected concerning such an important point? If my other apps were oriented like this DjvuReader, FF, Matlab, notepad I would waste half my time during a normal working day with switching while not knowing which window keeps which content...
It would be nice to have such a container!
Kind regards

Vegan Caramel Apples
I'm still working out some of the details with using this caramel to coat apples. When the apple skins are smooth the caramel has trouble staying on overnight. You can do what I do and smoosh it back up or you can try refrigerating the covered apples. You can also make the block of caramel and remelt it and cover the apples shortly before serving. I was crazy for caramel pre-Alex and I really think these hold up in a taste test to real dairy caramels. Give them a try!
Vegan Caramel
Ingredient proportions from The Glad Cow Cookbook
Makes ~100 pieces of caramel candy, will coat ~8-10 apples
1 cup margarine*
2 cups sugar
2 cups soy milk
1 cup light corn syrup
1 t vanilla
*Optional: Add 1 tsp salt if using unsalted margarine
-Line an 8 inch x 8 inch pan with parchment or cover a baking sheet with parchment and ready your apples and sticks. You can cover a few apples and then place the remaining caramel in any parchment lined container to set up and make candies. I use a loaf pan for the extra caramel when covering apples.
-Place the margarine, sugar, soy milk and corn syrup in a large saucepan (4qt capacity minimum)
-Bring ingredients to a boil stirring continually.
-Cook over medium-high heat while continuing to stir until candy reaches 248 degrees F. (243-5 for softer caramels)
-Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into lined baking pan. If coating apples then let allow the caramel to cool for a minute while still stirring and then start coating. After you coat the apples place them in the fridge or eat them as soon as they cool.
-Allow the caramel in the pan to cool completely. Snip into pieces using clean kitchen shears that you wipe or spray with oil (or slice with a knife). Wrap individually with waxed or parchment paper. Makes ~100 pieces
Variation: Cook to 230 degrees F for caramel sauce for ice cream/cake. Store in a covered container.
I'm adding this to the Living with Food Allergies Blog Carnival. Look for it and the other entries at The Allergic Kid on October 2nd.

Oh apple picking and vegan caramel apples??? Oh how delicious. I was just thinking I haven't had a caramel apple- or a pomme d'amour as we call them here - in ages.
I can't wait to try this!

I found your post through Food Gawker. How long do the caramels last if stored in an airtight container? I am having a fall vegan wedding (in 3 weeks) and think these caramels would be soooo perfect, but I would want to make them ahead of time, of course. Would they store for a week? Two?

VeggieGirl: The apple picking was a lot of fun. My son liked the haunted house there the most. Abbie is dreadfully sneaky. You can't turn your back on food with her around.
Nowheymama: I hope you get a chance to try them.
Joelen: Fall is my favorite season.
JennShaggy: I have done some with fleur de sel on top and they are outstanding.
Sandra Gordon: You're welcome. I looked forever to find a recipe without soy creamer (I don't care for the taste).
Hillary: The chocolate decorated apples you have are gorgeous. I've used this to dip pretzels into and then drizzle with chocolate but there weren't anywhere near as pretty.
shellyfish: I hope you get a chance to make them. It doesn't feel like fall without at least one caramel apple.
Upright Ape: Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. I've kept wrapped caramels for well over a month with no change in texture or flavor at all. I would definitely recruit a big group of friends for cutting and wrapping them all, it's a time consuming process. I buy packs of precut cellophane from Candyland Crafts to wrap mine. They also have cellophane bags for sale.

Hi! I love caramel apples, but I'm the unlucky vegan who is allergic to soy; would rice milk work in this recipe?
- Wednesday, October 01, 2008
- Maggie said...
upright ape: I'd love to know how they work for you.
Jo: After my inital experiments making dairy-free caramel with soy creamer I was sure it couldn't be done but these really are great. I've given them as gifts to non-vegans who loved them.
Clumbsy Cookie: She's always got to check to see if things are tasty.
Rosa's Yummy Yums: Thanks!
Jennifer: I love baked apples. My grandmother Margaret used to mix cinnamon red hots and borwn sugar in hers and they were awesome!
Juliet: It's not something you can walk away from once you start but candy making is a lot of fun. I hope you give it a try.
- Wednesday, October 01, 2008
- Maggie said...
Evia: I've never tried making them with rice milk. If I were going to try to make it soy-free I would probably start with a "milk" with more fat and protein. Almond milk or hemp milk might be a better substitute because they both have a higher proportion of protein and fat. I think coconut milk would also work but it has a LOT more fat and so the amount of margarine might need to be cut. I might go ahead and try a batch with almond or hemp. What kind of margarine do you use? You could try to substitute that with coconut oil. Let me know if it works (or doesn't work).

I had a disaster the the first time I made the caramel too. The recipe I had didn't say anything about stirring so I just stuck a candy thermometer in it and waited for it to get to the correct temperature. The whole bottom was one big scorched mess but the caramel on top tasted great.
You can make it without a candy thermometer and test the consistency in a glass of ice water. Just drop a glob of caramel in the ice water to check to see if it's cooked enough. When it's ready it should feel a little firmer than play dough.

oh my, i found you and this recipe through boys rule my life and yUM! i've never made caramel before but this worked like a charm. i made it more saucy at 230 degrees. after going in the frig, it's the perfect consistancy for dipping apples. my three year old dairy allergic son is all about "dipping" so this is a hit. thank you so much! i'm going to have to check back for more great recipes. i posted a link to this on my blog. thanks again!

I am a daring baker too and was looking through the threads and found your link to caramel. It is almost exactly how I make caramel, but I didn't remember were I got the original proportions from. I bet it was the same book! Thanks for putting it on your site, so now I can credit it! Your caramel looks great! I use coconut and almond milk in mine...

Just found your recipe in time for apple season - thanks so much for posting this! My 3.5 year old is also allergic to dairy and I've been trying to figure out how to introduce him to one of my fall favorites

Oh my god, I love you. We just made these tonight, and they are FANTASTIC. My British husband had never had one, and he is now a caramel apple convert. I've never seen corn syrup in the UK, so I used golden syrup, which seemed to work just fine. We covered 4 apples, and poured the rest of the caramel into a loaf pan, covered it in pecans, and tomorrow we're going to cover it in melted chocolate. The flavor of the caramel goes soooo well with the pecans, I can't imagine how good it will be with chocolate! Thank you so much for the recipe, we'll be making it again and again!

Using a vegetable peeler to roughen the apple skin may help the caramel to stick. :)

Just wanted to say thank you! I've had this recipe saved in my favorites for an entire year now and every now and then I see it and say "oh, I need to remember to try this recipe when I have some free time"...so here I am a year later and still hadn't tried it. Well, tomorrow my daughter's class is having apples and caramel dip. I just made it and I have 3 children licking all of the utinsils and pot clean. Wonderful recipe, thank you so much!

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it was a total bust for me. First I used too small of a pot(against the instructions in the recipe) and had to transfer to a bigger pot. Then I think my candy thermometer wasn't working properly because it was boiling for probably 15 minutes and didn't ever reach 248, finally I had to turn it off because the bottom was starting to burn and the caramel is tasty but way to hard to eat. Bummer! Looks so good in the picture!

Heather K: I'm sorry you had a hard time with the recipe. If you are interested in trying this again there are two things to remember:
1) It will take over 15 minutes to reach 248, usually 25-30 minutes. It's just not a quick recipe.
2) During this time you do have to stir the mixture occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom. I don't stir constantly but do so at least once every 30 seconds making sure I scrape the bottom well.
Good luck!

OMG so yummy! I just made these, bit into my apple and had to take a break to write a comment.
AWESOME recipe. My little guy has multiple food allergies and hasn't had a caramel apple before. He'll be so excited when he gets home from school! You are my hero!

Turner Environmental Law Clinic Questions Financing of New Reactors at Vogtle Nuclear Site
On Thursday, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will consider final permits that would clear the way for the first new construction at a nuclear power site in nearly 30 years, at The Southern Companys Vogtle Electric Generating Plant near Waynesboro, Ga.
Emory Laws Turner Environmental Law Clinic and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy say the Department of Energy should first answer questions concerning the finances and taxpayer underwriting of the $14 billion project that would add two new reactors to the plants two existing ones.
The Clinic filed Freedom of Information Act requests on SACEs behalf in March 2010. After receiving no information beyond preliminary notices of receipt, SACE filed suit against the DOE in August 2011.
On Dec. 8, DOE filed a response, which Mindy Goldstein, the clinics acting director, characterized as a heavily redacted. The information released did not disclose the loan guarantee terms and credit subsidies. SACE suggests Southern Co. has an unacceptably slight investment in the project, perhaps as low as .05 to 1 percent.
Alliance Executive Director Stephen Smith drew a cautionary parallel to the governments $535 million loan guarantee to Solyndra Inc., the solar panel manufacturer that filed for bankruptcy in August. The $8.3 billion federal loan guarantee for the Vogtle Plant is more than a dozen times more than the taxpayer-backed obligation for Solyndra, Smith says.
It's unacceptable and inconsistent that the much larger Vogtle loan isn't getting more intense scrutiny when the potential risk to taxpayers is much greater, Smith said. The DOE needs to operate with more transparency now, not less.

Ticked Off!
December 12, 2012
I'm ticked off because I received a notice that implies government compliance when in fact it is merely insurance coverage for unexpected repairs. These stalker companies should be ashamed!
Why do parents allow a child to carry a long toy such as a sword into a public venue? I was almost smacked by a lighted sword at a theme park the other day and I told the parents that if it occurred, they would be in big trouble!
I'm ticked off at my dishonest dentist. My dentist broke half my molar off and never said a word.
I'm ticked off because the "Christmas spirit" is dead. Greed and political correctness have killed a lot of good things in this country. Too bad!
The flip side
In a rush, I pulled out my debit card in the checkout line at my local grocery store and promptly lost it. Seeing my panic, the obviously well-brought up gentleman, who was bagging my purchases went out of his way to find it. A tiny act of kindness was MOST appreciated. Thank you again!
I had lunch at a restaurant in Lake Buena Vista with a friend. I left my cell phone there on the table by mistake! Either the waitress or the manager found it and kept it in the manager's office for me. You can not imagine my joy when I called them and they were holding my cell phone for me! The thought of recreating all those phone numbers was overwhelming! There are still honest people out there, and for that, I am very thankful. This was my best Christmas gift ever! I shall return to the restaurant often and will forever be thankful for their honesty!

Lynda (Kukla) Pinnow Headed into Valpo's Hall of Fame
Wednesday, February 03, 2010
One of the top outside shooters ever to play basketball at Valpo, Lynda (Kukla) Pinnow will be inducted into the Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday afternoon.
Pinnow still ranks among the top-10 in school history with 1,081 career points. She led the nation in three-point shooting in 1991-1992, making 101 triples, still a Crusader single season record. A Second Team All-North Star Conference selection as a senior, Pinnow participated in the women's first three-point shootout at the 1992 Men's Final Four in Minneapolis. She holds the Crusader career record with 264 triples, and her .350 career three-point percentage is tied for 10th on Valpo's career list. Pinnow also still ranks ninth all-time at Valpo in steals (167) and is 17th in assists (208).
A co-captain for the Crusaders as a senior, she was a two-time recipient of the team's Coaches' Award during her stay at Valpo as well.
Kukla has since gone on to coach high school basketball. Pinnow is currently a special education teacher and has been raising her two children, Gabby and Willy.
The Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Banquet will be held on Saturday, February 6 at 3:30 p.m. in the Ballroom at the Harre Union. The inductees will also be recognized at halftime of both the men's and women's basketball games on the same day.

I like "Gust of Wind" very much.
très beau travail, j'aime bien
Superbe travail !
great opera!
Interesting work.
Your two recent portraits convey to me a sense of life in a grey winter light which holds only frail promises of spring. The impact of the present, the immediacy of the experience is stronger and deeper than any theories about it. Love them both Ileana.
Going through changes is a real nice picture! Happy New year to you Illiana!
"Going through changes" - I instantly loved this one Iliana!
Hello Iliana,
"Vera "Shauna, Francine" with this enigmatic title appears to me like a symbol for woman. The mysterious atmosphere of this work and its clarity at the same time are admirable.
Best wishes
Beautiful new artwork! I love it!
Title Vera, Shauna, Francine
Artist Iliana Tosheva
I like this one !
***** 5 stars from me~
Sincerely Josefin
Very interesting works, Iliana!!!
Sincerely your, Rene.
Thank you for your nice words Iliana. I regard your recent works as a study on how minimal an impression can be before becoming non-existent. On the verge between being and not being. Very, very interesting. Greetings from me too.
Well, thats time for painting, here is my way for à few month, and i am surprise of the 3 series, especially "Lavender Hill", nice superstrucutre. Well, well, Regards, Jc.
Your latest works are splendid.
I love a "room with a view". It may me think of women who cannot leave their houses unveiled and unaccompanied and can only see the outside world though small openings in thick walls.
"Room with a view" is really great Iliana. In the style of the previous one and somehow this one reminds a little of Klimt.
And the face is so strange and distanced. Is it that which we view ? Or is that face the viewer?
Really impressive work. Strongly recommend to follow Iliana...

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of…
New York was amazing!
I returned from my fall break trip to New York with a heavy heart. It has only been a few months since I had left my hometown of Penang, and being a city boy, I loved every bit of New York City; the traffic, the buildings, the noise and even the rude people.
Yes I realized that I am a city boy after all. Even though it may be more stressful, I somehow like being in the fray.
It was a really short trip. We (a group of 25 international students) managed to cover quite a few sites in our brief visit to the Big Apple. We saw the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Ground Zero and the Empire State Building… all in one day.
It was my second trip to the city that never sleeps. I was pretty indifferent when the bus approached Manhattan. But what I loved about arriving at New York City was watching the reactions of my peers who were about to visit arguably the most famous city in the world for the first time. Some were ecstatic, others speechless and one started playing Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" from her iPhone. Priceless.
The one thing that really caught my attention this time around was the diversity of NYC. Everywhere I went, I heard different languages being spoken by different people. Even in Chinatown, where one would assume the common language to be Mandarin Chinese, I heard at least five different dialects of Chinese. All of which I have never heard of. That is strange for me…because I know three dialects. It is amazing how these people come from all over the world to make a living and could all coexist in one big city. Not to be stereotypical, but I also noticed a pattern in how certain groups of people have certain jobs; especially in the Times Square area. I will not, however, specify the groups and match them to the particular jobs that I've taken notice of.
I felt pretty sad when we left New York. But I made a promise to myself that one day I will return to New York. It wouldn't even matter what the reason is for my return. In the meantime, it is back to Alliance for me, but hey, Alliance is a nice place too.
Till next time, New York.
Goodbye. Adiós. 再见. Selamat Tinggal.

Meet the new Prince of Cambridge! Prince William and Duchess Catherine gave the world its first glimpse of the royal baby when they left St. Mary's Hospital in London on Tuesday, July 23, 2013.
William joked the baby has "a good set of lungs" and his mother's good looks.
The prince even took his son into his arms and walked about with him while answering reporters' questions, showing he truly wants to be a hands-on father.
The third in line to the British throne doesn't have a name yet, but his father says he's "a big boy" and a name will come soon.
A closeup shot of the future king of England shows he wasn't too impressed by all the hoopla surrounding his "unveiling."
It also looks like he has a good bit of hair, with William joking he already has more than him.
In another sign of his hands-on parenting skills, William carried his son out to the car in his car seat, managed to strap it in himself and then drove the new family to their home at Kensington Palace in his car.
The new parents shared several moments of levity while juggling their firstborn child front of the hundreds of cameras and well-wishers packed around the hospital's Lindo Wing entrance.
This shot gives a better picture of the media and well-wishes crowded in front of the hospital.
Catherine, as usual, looked amazing as she emerged from the hospital, wearing a dress of the same baby-blue color as Prince William's shirt.

I am a former BFL'er and I know that this program works! I also know that it is a lot easier to succeed when you have the support and encouragement of others who are also reaching for the same goals. I am looking for a group of people who are new to BFL and are planning to start their challenge next week, or has recently started....or is planning to start soon. I will be your rock if you will be mine:)
I have spent the whole last week preparing for the challenge and I am so excited to get started on Monday....I had my body fat analysis, weight and BMI recorded today. SOBS!!!!! It was a lot worse that I had imagined. I take my before pictures tomorrow. Double SOBS!!!!! Can anyone else relate?
Oh....and my refrigerator broke yesterday. I need to hurry up and find a new one before Sunday or I am going to have to store my BFL foods in an ice cooler!!!!
Stacy, I too am a former BFL'er, having nearly completed 2 rounds. Those 2 rounds had some goal I was shooting for and as they drew closer and I was seeing results, I'd quit.... good enough. This time, there is no time goal, this is just because, just for me. So I'm with ya if it works for you. July 26th it is! Thank you for posting! Ponyd
I am into my second challenge, but if you need to ask questions, or want opinions or need a boost, fire away. We are stronger together.
Oh, don't worry about your before picture. Use it for motivation and to track progress but think about the woman you want to be and will be!!! Hold that image in your mind and go for it!!!
Great! My sister is also starting on July 26th....although, I don't think that she has created a profile...yet. (I will get on her to do so this weekend) So, that makes 3 of us so far:)
Thanks Orrin!!! I am planning on keeping those before pics to myself....lol I will post before and after in 12 weeks.
I thought I read on the starter kit that I ahvnt fille dout yet the nxt one wa sin septenber its next week? I dont know if I can get my stuff turned in by then, I havnt mailed anything off yet but Id love to not sure what im suppse to do with the kit yet I need to call the staff and find out how to start I guess
I hear you about the pics. Mine are safely stored on my computer for now. It is a good thing to do though. I never took any for my first challenge and I wish I had.
I hope you find a new refrigerator soon.
I too am starting. Just finished my Paramedic training and always had an excuse about not having the 'time' to workout. Now that its finished I have no more excuses! Count me in
I started Jul. 19 - Just a few days ago. Started and quit after 2 weeks a couple of times in the past...this time its different. I am sick of starting things and not finishing and then being aggrivated I still havent lost the 20 lbs of baby weight from my third baby....she's now 2 and 1/2!! I got the working out thing down, its the nutrition that always has stopped me. I eat healthy foods, have no problem there, I just eat randomly and tooo much!! So I am right there with ya.
I did exactly what you did, prepared myself for a few days before hand.....got a notebook, planned my meals, etc. I stocked the kitchen, took the pics and got myself excited.....this is the one thing I didn't do before when I started the challenge on other occasions. The notebook and planning really seems to help.
Good luck with the fridge, we went thru that last year......ate out of a cooler for a week. Until the repair man could finally tell us he had no idea what was wrong.......
Good luck to you! Let's keep in touch ....
I have done the BFL once before about 5 years ago. I had a baby about 9 months ago, and although I am actually smaller now than I was before I got pregnant, I would love to have a healthier life style and to tone up. I am starting another round of the BFL on July 25 and would love the added support. Good luck to all of you!
So am i right ins ayign this isnt the actual contest but just us starting out the program right?
I started my first BFL challenge July 21 so I am definately a newbie! I am excited and energized by the program so far and would love to encourage and support other people who are on the same road I am on. Wishing all of you success in the weeks to come! We can do it!
I am 37 and just joined gym last week. The gym manager told me about the book. I am game if your ok with me being a newbie.
Count me in!!!!! I agree with Stacy that a great support group could mean the difference between success and failure! I have failed before but not this time!
Hi Stacy, I am starting tomorrow too! Stocked up my kitchen, hit the local GNC and getting my notebook ready! Would love to stay in touch and keep each other motivated! I am ready to take myself to the next level!
